Get the occasional foxes with kits in the back yard. They have a very amusing bark/yelp. They'll also run in a crescent moon in front of you hopping and jumping. They seem to have overflowing amounts of personality hehe.

/be nice to have one of the domestic silvers or a Fennec, though they are mostly better off in the wild.

I presume the fox learned that such things commonly had food - and was really hungry. Then seeing it was a no-go decided not to anger the gods close to where it usually picked up some Chinese takeout, or something good like that a young couple might toss out without a second thought. They def. made it sound like the fox was smart enough to realize it had some value - and wasn't worth anything to the fox. I would love to ascribe it to a conscious :)

Where my shop was previously located we had foxes that would hang out in the sun every day at lunch time behind an iron security grate. My dog and I could walk up and look at them and all us of knew we couldn't get through the grate. Visited them almost every day. Occasionally we'd be working with the overhead doors up and notice foxes watching us.

My sister lives just outside an urban area in some deep woods; last winter a fox would come up and sleep in one of the dog houses she has up on her porch since her dogs stay inside. He'd just curl up with all the blankets and would leave slowly, yawning and stretching, when she'd go out there to let the dogs out in the mornings. Took a bunch of pictures, he was a cutie, all snuggled up with the blankets.
